Roxie: I always wanted to have my name in all the papers. Before
I met Amos I use to date this well-to-do ugly bootlegger. He used to like
to take me out and show me off. Ugly guys like to do that. Once it said
in the paper, "Gangland's Al Capelli seen at Chez Vito with cute blond
chorine." That was me. I clipped it and saved it. You know, all my life
I wanted to have my own act. But noooo, no, no, no, it's always no, they
always turned me down. One big world full of no! And then Amos came along.
Safe, sweet Amos. Who never says no. Ohh. I've never done this before,
but you know, it is such a special night and you are such a great audience!
And, and, I just really feel like I can talk to you, you know? So forget
what you've read in the papers, and forget what you've heard on the radio
because, because, because I'm gonna tell you the truth. Not that the truth
really matters, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. In the bed department,
Amos was......zero. I mean, when he made love to me, it was like, it was
like he was fixing a carborator or something, "I love ya, honey, I love
ya!" Anyway, I started fooling around...and then I started screwing around,
which is fooling around without dinner. Then I met Fred Casley, who said
he could get me into vaudeville, but that didn't quite work out like I
planned. I guess it didn't really work out too great for Fred either.
So I gave up with the whole vaudeville idea, 'cause you gotta figure after
all those years -- opportunities just pass you by. But it ain't, oh no
no no no, but it ain't. And now, if this Flynn guy gets me off, with all
this publicity, I got me a world full of YES!
